Kepler's laws, universal gravitation mcq doubt

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a multiple-choice question related to Kepler's laws and universal gravitation. The original poster believed the correct answer was C (I and II), while a friend's book indicated the answer was B. After some back-and-forth, it was suggested that the poster's choice of C might be the better option. The visibility of the image was also a point of confusion, which was resolved later in the conversation. Ultimately, the focus remains on determining the correct answer to the question based on Kepler's laws.

I thought the answer will be C : I and II
But the solution written (it was my friends book) is B, which is correct?

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
